Day 3: Pain
House's POV
I slept. At least I think I slept. So,...when I open up my eyes it's possible that I will be lying in my bed and just have a hang-over.
But I was wrong. I was still here in my head. Alone. But something had changed. It was still cold and absolutely quiet. What is it? What's different?
Then I realized. It was much darker than before and there was a bad feeling in my whole body. Suddenly I felt a firm grip on my neck.
Agony: I am pain
I am real, I'm not a dream
I'm the chain around your neck as you scream
Surrender now
You can't beat death at this ruthless game
Make your bow
Hang your head in shame
I turned quickly to see the ugliest man I ever met. His skin seemed to be made from stone although it was thinner than a piece of paper. His eyes lay deep down in his head and it seemed like he had no eyelids. Smiling, he showed rotten teeth and his breath smelled like death itself. His hair was thin and of an ugly white colour. His hands were bony and the whole figure seemed to be very ill. His surroundings seemed to be frozen just by his presence. And as he began to spoke I had to flinch because of his hateful voice.
"You're here again. Here with me. I'm so happy to have you back. My best friend." With the last few words he first began to chuckle and burst out in laughter. It was the most terrible sound I had ever heard.
Who is this? What is this? Go away, you scab!
But I couldn't say anything. This angel of hell took my breath away and paralyzed me. And then I felt it. Pain. Shocked by its power I screamed, which made the devil in front of me even happier.
I felt as though my body was burning. And although this creature was the one causing my pain, he was obviously amazed by my torture.
"It's so funny watching you die," he said, and laughed again.
Slowly anger began to form in my chest. Who is this son of bitch to say something like that?
"Shut up!" My sudden reaction stopped his laughter and caused me a new wave of pain.
"Well, I see you still try to fight. But it's useless. You should accept that I have finally won. Another won battle for me, the Agony." With this he smiled again, but this time the smile was wiped from his face when a big and strong fist hit him in the face.
Rage: (Pain!) all the time, I had waited with rage
All the time, I was promised my salvation.
The fist belonged to a tall, strong man whose face was red from fury.
"You worthless demon! You murderer! I'll get you! And then I will kill you!!"
The man's voice sounded like thunder. But the only reaction he got from Agony was a slightly amused smile.
"Of course, you can try killing me, but you would never succeed! Have you already forgotten how often you have already tried it? Oh, you're so stupid, Rage. You're so stupid."
Agony obviously tried to look sad and full of sympathy for rage. But his eyes are still so cold and emotionless.
"Accept it, Rage! He will never find a way out of here. And when he realises this fact he will decide that he would rather die. And I will be there! Because I am his Agony and I love to see him suffer!"
And with a final laugh, he disappeared.
